“The ultimate cliché, I think the wrong guys can be so right if they want to, and that’s the hope I always hold on to; the day they decide to be right so we can be right for each other.”

Because my silence is more dangerous than my words, my silence can destroy much more than my words ever will. My silence means you’re no longer the one who’s occupying my thoughts and you’re no longer worth the noise.

Maybe the only word that’s left unsaid between us is goodbye. And maybe I have to say it first before you leave without saying a word like you always do.

You don’t know how to be kind to yourself. You don’t know how to relax, how to praise yourself, how to give yourself a pat on the back or how to forgive yourself.

Because there can’t be any more ‘maybes’ between us; we’ve wasted them all. There can’t be any more trials or chances, there can’t be any more years wasted on trying to make this work.

But more than anything, thank you for making me feel safe in knowing that wherever life takes me, I can always come back to you. I can always find a home in you.

But let me tell you this, when a girl comes to you and hands you her heart in all honesty and tells you that she likes you or that she wants more, that girl has no time for games.

Now you’re scared — scared of making another wrong decision, scared of continuing the path you started in your early twenties of falling for people who are wrong for you thinking you’ll change them.
